    So, ‘get in line’ with your view, or ‘fuck you’, is your message.

    Progressives, including myself, are upset at Biden, but we’re not monolithic, and many of us are even reasonable grownups that don’t let our rage dictate how we respond to situations with vitriol and insults, or with demands that everyone else conform to our individuals views or be dismissed. I get it on some level, you’re obviously younger, I had the fervor of inexperienced passion with politics in my younger years as well. I actively try not to project my own shortcomings onto others to convince myself I’m right when I feel attacked. You’re losing the plot and only seeing red.

    • Who should we be voting for/against in primaries other than just Biden?

    • How many threads and comments are you posting about local, state, and federal politics that are even more important than President?

    • What Congressional Representatives are you mad at about genocide support?

    • What state lawmakers are supporting genocide and need to be engaged over it?

    • Where’s the rest of your outrage for the little things that matter more than the optical illusion that is the Presidential race?

    Biden is the middle ground Republican-light compromise coward and always has been, none of your screaming is going to make him stop talking from both sides of his mouth. If anything, he’s had a few releases that were surprisingly harsher on Israel than some of us ever expected him to.

    You are laser focused on the wrong-goddamn shit - looking for instant gratification by trying to make the story of the plight of Palestinians about Biden and a singular American election, when it’s about so much more and could have stronger impacts if it was focused on actionable solutions rather than reactions to public statements.
